Aging and Disability Resource Centers serve the general public and offer information and assistance on issues affecting older people, people with disabilities, or their families.

The Family Care benefit is available through Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). MCOs serve people in three primary target groups who have a long-term care condition expected to last for more than 90 days. The three Family Care target groups are:

  1. Frail Older Adults
    (65 years or older)

  2. People with Physical Disabilities
    (17 years, 9 months or older)

  3. People with Developmental Disabilities
    (17 years, 9 months or older)

(People with dementia and people with a terminal condition
may also be eligible for Family Care.)

As of October 1, 2009, there were approximately 24,324 people enrolled in Family Care. View current enrollment data by MCO.
